The Year So Far

2025, so far, what can I say? The usual, I suppose. Up and down. Bittersweet. Fruitful and disappointing at the same time. One thing stands true tho, no matter how much you try to stay away from drama, somehow it will find a way to get through. One way or another.

That being said, I refuse. I rebuke. I refute. Whatever English word fits best, I am not playing these games.

One game the economy has been messing with again are egg prices. Really, of all things, eggs?

The never-ending egg-chicken saga continues this year. I am so thankful for my beautiful hens, I have no regrets having them at all. While we don't really eat that many eggs, I still can't imagine paying the prices in the groceries now. My fondness of birds are paying off, I suppose.

What other unfortunate events have troubled me so far?

Ah yes - the dumpster divers from hell.

I don't care if someone wants to dumpster dive for whatever reason. I do believe one man's garbage is another man's treasure, and I have heard stories of people finding really good things in dumpsters. Depending where, of course, but it's not unheard of. I do care if these dumpster divers are destructive and would cause a mess.

We live next to some businesses, and all year round, there were people trying to get into their garbage. I don't know what they are looking for but they have been leaving a mess every time. The businesses have tried to lock the dumpsters, chain the lids on, and these people keep trying to open them and on time I saw the cops come over because the lids were destroyed.

This was from a few weeks ago, and they left a big mess on the neighbor's yard. Now that it's windy and there's no snow or anything, the garbage just blows into our property. It's annoying, and I really don't know what to do. I feel like it's such a small thing to call the city for, but at the same time it's gross as it comes into our yard.

I really, really wish I can afford to put up a fence right now.

What other disappointments in life do I have?

Just little things. Like broken soap holders that I ordered online.

Oh well, I will stay positive! I will not let this dictate my year. This is also me, convincing myself that it will be okay. Everything will be okay. Eventually. 

There is such a thing as toxic positivity. But if I let this negativity take over, it's worse than any toxic positivity can do.

We'll be fine.
